How to donate in memory of a loved one
Become a regular donor and place a personalised plaque in our Memory Garden, in memory of a loved one
Nestled within the grounds of our Hospice, the Memory Garden is a tranquil space for quiet reflection - a place to pause, to remember, and to celebrate life.
When you become a regular donor, you have the option to add a personalised plaque, in memory of someone special, to the garden as a symbol of remembrance. A place that you can visit time and time again, to remember and reflect.
Giving a regular gift means that you play a part in helping us to ensure that everyone in our borough has access to the care that they need, at the end of their life.
Because we believe that the people of our borough should be given dignity from the beginning of their life, right until the end.
Your regular gifts provide the hospice with a stable and reliable source of income, allowing us to plan for the future - making sure that your money goes where it is needed most.
Every donation you make is making a difference every day.

Light for a Life
At Wigan and Leigh Hospice we run our annual Light for a Life appeal from October until the twelfth night after Christmas. Every year thousands of people choose to remember their loved one by dedicating a light on our beautiful tree.

Sponsor a Christmas Tree
Every December we fill our gardens with sparkling Christmas trees.
This year we have 120 beautiful trees available to sponsor. Each tree features a plaque with a message of your choice or can include a message and logo from a business.
At the same time you’ll be giving the gift of Christmas to patients living with life-limiting or terminal illnesses.
Please contact us to discuss sponsoring a tree by emailing: info@wlh.org.uk or call us on 01942 524203
Create on online In Memory page
You can create an in memory page on JustGiving where you can tell the story of the person you’re remembering using words, photos and video and explain why you’re raising money in their memory. Your friends and family can give to your page easily, safely and securely, wherever and whenever they want to. Together you can create a lasting tribute in memory of your loved one.
Much Loved allows you to make an online tribute to someone special and fundraise in their memory. It provides a simple way to publish funeral notices and for collecting donations for your chosen charities.
